The UK’s only football shirt themed vintage fair is in Manchester this weekend

An enormous vintage fair dedicated to football shirts is landing in Manchester this weekend, packed with more than 35 traders.

The Retro Football Fair is set to take over Diecast near Manchester Piccadilly for a huge celebration of all things footbal.

Expect rail upon rail of vintage football shirts, as well as stalls selling artwork, memorabilia, cards, and loads more.

The event comes from Retro Football Shirts, a business that sources and sells retro and rare football shirts.

The business is owned by Tom Rainsford, who started the journey back in 2018 by selling a few jerseys on Depop – fast forward a few years and it’s now a global website selling jerseys from across UK, European and international teams.

Retro Football Fair is another string to the business’s bow and has been attracting thousands of football fans at every event.

Now it’s Manchester’s turn, with the huge vintage fair filling Diecast with thousands of retro football shirts on Sunday 28 September.

While the main attraction is those kits, the fair welcomes any trader selling items related to the beautiful game – so you’ll find all sorts of footy-related items on sale here.

The event will kick off at midday and run until 5pm – tickets cost £5 and are available HERE, or on the door.

Manchester City or Manchester United season ticket holders can claim 20% off the full ticket price.
